Vincent is coming out of his coffin. Announced at the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (https://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-release-date-and-everything-confirmed/) voice cast panel at New York Comic-Con, the voice actor for the gun-toting ex-Turk has been officially confirmed: Matt Mercer. This comes after fans claimed the prolific voice actor was the character when he appeared in the latest State of Play.

Disturbing Vincent Valentine's slumber
As host, Matt Mercer brings up his background work in FFVII Remake after introducing the cast. He then puts the rumors to bed (or coffin, in this case) by saying that he will take on the role of Vincent Valentine in the sequel. Vincent, in Final Fantasy VII, is a former Turk who joins Cloud and his crew on their escapades as revenge on Hojo. He also was the protagonist in Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, voiced by VA legend Steve Blum.
Being in the industry for many years, Matt Mercer is no stranger to big-ticket roles. His parts in Persona 5 (Yusuke), Fire Emblem (Chrom), and Overwatch (Cole Cassidy) were heavily praised. He also hosts the popular Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role. Most recently, he played the main villain Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Without a doubt, Matt is the perfect actor to take over Vincent Valentine. I, for one, can't wait to see him in all his glory.
While fans are likely to be excited by the announcement of Vincent, a fan-favorite character, it is worth noting Square Enix already confirmed he will not be a playable party member (https://www.destructoid.com/vincent-valentine-wont-be-playable-in-final-fantasy-vii-rebirth/) during an exclusive interview with Game Informer (https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/2023/09/20/square-enix-answers-6-burning-questions-about-final-fantasy-vii-rebirth).
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth releases on February 29, 2024, for PlayStation 5.
